Ones

One With a 9 Wing
Ones with this wing can have an aura of 9-like calm although eruptions of temper are possible. Often have a detached quality and can be mistaken for Fives.

The rules come first no matter what. Can be merciless or unwittingly cruel. Often a little colorless in their personal appearance.
